RPM HOSTS KING'S CUP EXTRAVAGANZA


Royal Phuket Marina hosted yet another fabulous party and prize- giving celebrating Asia's premier yachting regatta, the Phuket King's Cup.

Hosted for the second year running, the celebration was attended by over 1000 yachtsmen and guests on Friday, December 8th, with spectacular entertainment by international performers and vibrant fireworks finale.

In attendance were a host of top government officials and VIPs, as well as a large party of Hong Kong socialites and business leaders, including the renowned founder of the Lan Kwai Fong nightlife centre, Allan Zeman.

After welcome drinks and a Thai buffet dinner, the first show was an exhilarating show by the Art of Dance troupe from Bangkok, with a virtuoso performance of iconic hits ranging from "Hey Big Spender" and "Come Fly with Me" to "FAME".

The main act -- all the way from London -- was a one-man show by Tom Griffiths, currently the understudy for Phantom of the Opera. He performed a few Phantom favourites as well as "The Lady is a Tramp" before transforming into Elvis to sing "Viva Les Vegas", and "O Sole Mio".


After the fireworks and confetti canons, DJ Dexter from Chicago kept the dance floor jumping late into the night. The celebration was particularly timely, just a week prior to the return of direct flights from Hong Kong to Phuket and coinciding with the King of Thailand's 60th year on the throne, making him the longest reigning monarch in the world.
